Detailed explanation-1: -The Qur’an reminds us that there is a “recognised right, for the needy and deprived” over our wealth (70:24-5), so by giving for the sake of others, a Muslim is fulfilling a duty to those in need and preventing him or her from becoming proud of their own generosity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Charity also forms the third of the obligatory Five Pillars of Islam – also known as Zakat. It is the act of giving a portion of one’s profitable wealth to those in need each year. The other primary form of charity is known as Sadaqah – which means voluntary charity.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever feeds someone who is hungry will have his sins forgiven, and whoever helps someone to travel will have his sins forgiven. “Feeding the hungry, giving food to the needy, and helping people with their needs are all good deeds that can earn us a place in Paradise.
